SERVING IT. SMASHING IT, LOVING IT

P V Sindhu bagged the Singapore Open title recently making not just the badminton fraternity but also the whole country proud.

One of her cheerleaders is former chief national coach of India and veteran badminton player, U Vimal Kumar.

Dissecting her win, Kumar says it was important for her, since it will positively impact her confidence, and simultaneously for the forthcoming games, including the World Championships in Tokyo. "She has been playing tournaments but hasn't had many wins over Tai Tzuying or Chen Yu Fei," says Kumar about Sindhu, who was recently in Bengaluru. It has been a good year for India, with the country witnessing its first Thomas Cup win, and Kumar is emotional about it since he was the manager of the victorious Indian team.
